About Us

Serving the Communities of Greater Minnesota for Over a Century

Our roots go back to 1886 when St. Cloud Hospital was built to serve the health care needs of people living in Central Minnesota. In 1995, CentraCare was formed, which today includes nine hospitals in St. Cloud, Benson, Long Prairie, Melrose, Monticello, Paynesville, Redwood Falls, Sauk Centre and Willmar. We also have more than 30 clinics throughout the area.

CentraCare has grown to meet the needs of the communities and is now one of the largest health systems in Minnesota. This means we’re able to offer the latest advancements in care, technology and treatments close to home. But what makes CentraCare special is not our facilities or technology. It’s our people. We live in the communities we serve. We’re neighbors, friends and family. And when you need us, we are here for you.

Personalized Care You Can Count On

Seeking out health care services can be stressful. It can be inconvenient and it can be life changing. That’s why you need a health care partner that understands you. Our approach is to listen first and then deliver what you need. We walk the journey with you every step of the way, whether it’s life’s most exciting moments or biggest challenges. Our care teams are experienced, compassionate and committed to you.

Our Commitment to Diversity

At CentraCare, all are welcome. We treat people of various backgrounds, cultures and ethnicities. Our staff is a reflection of our communities and we are proud of our diversity. We are committed to serving every person with respect toward their personal values and beliefs.

Our goal is to create and maintain an inclusive environment where all employees, patients and patients’ family members, physicians, volunteers and business partners are treated with fairness, dignity and respect without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, marital status or veteran status.
